The Renewable Energy Trade Mission in Egypt organized by MESIA (Middle East Solar Industry Association) will present a comprehensive outlook on developments in the Egyptian solar and wind market and the regulatory framework for developing solar projects in the country.

Officials and very senior representatives from the government will give you an overview of the key growth sectors for solar in Egypt; Commercial roof top sector, utility scale power plants, captive power projects (hotels, large consumers), to name a few.

Round table discussions will be organized with local officials and industry leaders. The aim of those round table sessions would be to connect international solar companies, manufacturers and investors with local Egyptian industry leaders. This would be done through a round-table format. The target is to facilitate partnership discussions between MESIA members and local companies interested in expanding in the renewable energy sector.
